The death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis in May 2020 caused a wave of public outrage. Following his death, many athletes and NFL players called for an end to police brutality and advocated social change. During a June 2020 survey in the United States, 52 percent of Democrat respondents said that they would strongly support NFL players kneeling during the national anthem in the 2020 NFL season.
